Mumbai’s Boldest Hip-Hop Portrait Comes Alive Through Marol’s Rap Cypher in Showstopper Network’s ‘Andar Kya Hai?’ by Milind Mehta

Watch Now:

Mumbai After a soul-searching debut in the hills of Dehradun, Andar Kya Hai?, the original series by Showstopper Network, travels to the chaotic, rain-soaked underbelly of Mumbai where cyphers bloom like rebellion in monsoon puddles and rhythm becomes resistance.
Hosted by Milind Mehta, founder of Showstopper Network, the second episode spotlights 59 Assembly, a dynamic collective of underground rappers based in Marol, Andheri East. This episode features raw street bars, spontaneous beatbox jams by guest Tash the Beatboxer, and conversations drenched in authenticity with no filters, no rehearsals, just real voices in their most vulnerable, vibrant form.
In the city that never lets you breathe too easy, Andar Kya Hai? found a rare stillness between verses. Amid monsoon drizzles and concrete echoes, stories emerged of hustle, heartbreak, healing, and hope of artists who never waited for the mic to find them, but made their own stage anyway.
Speaking on the experience, Milind Mehta, Founder, Showstopper Network shares,
“The rains poured, the cameras rolled, and hip-hop happened. We didn’t script this, we just showed up and listened. What I witnessed on that floor wasn’t just rap. It was poetry written in sweat, spit, and spirit. This isn’t a documentary,this is a timestamp of a generation that refuses to wait for validation.”
Tash the Beatboxer from 59 Assembly added:
“What stood out was Milind’s approach. Not as an outsider documenting us, but as one of us. He didn’t treat us like a subject, he jammed with us. It wasn’t about capturing a scene, it was about being part of one. That’s rare. ‘Andar Kya Hai?’ made space for what usually gets cut out in my interviews.”
